GOP Rep.-elect George Santos of New York admitted in two separate interviews on Monday to lying about parts of his resume but claimed that he hasn’t committed any crimes and intends to serve in Congress.
Santos has faced scrutiny over discrepancies in his employment and education history, as well as other public claims he has made about his biography. In interviews with WABC radio and the New York Post – the first times Santos has spoken publicly about the controversy – he acknowledged that he had fabricated some facts.
“I am not a criminal. Not here, not abroad, in any jurisdiction in the world have I ever committed any crimes,” Santos said in an interview with WABC radio host John Catsimatidis. #melaniezanona #ac360 #CNN
You’d be instantly fired if your employer found out everything you told them was a lie.
@Jennifer Poland So explain that one for us would you Jen?
@Harold Moore You need to read my first comment kid.
Why does Trump live rent free in your head ? Please tell me
@john brown 🙄
@Walter Monk so, no evidence for your accusations. Figures. Can you say disinformation?
@Lea Garner so you’re blind, too!
If your doctor lied about his credentials like this guy lied he’d be criminally charged.
News flash kiddo. He’s not a doctor 😆. He’s a politician. You big mad now only because he’s Republican. Too funny
EXACTLY!!! Plus WE can’t be refunded for the time, money/energy of such!!!😤
@Olive O’Sudden That should be changed. Credentials should be verified as for any job applicant. Qualifications for political office are more and more becoming a joke.
@T Mayorca Too not funny, Repub or Dem.
@JJ D He’s legend
This is nuts. I can’t believe he’s not immediately terminated.
@Jennifer Poland was I even commenting to you? Are you 12? MYOB
Elizabeth Warren ring a bell
Are you kidding? Republicans are gonna tell their kids to idolize Santos.
Not in US politics unfortunately, things take time to process unless the crime is so Bad.
Lying on a resume is not the worst a politician can do….which is Sad!!!
My US Senator gave me $10 million taxpayer dollars when I told her I was a Holocaust Jew…
The fact that he said “if” I disappoint anyone I am sorry; goes to show that he is not sorry. Usually one would say “I am sorry I disappoint you”
How can anyone trust him to represent them. And why is he not kicked out as yet?

How can anyone trust him to represent them. And why is he not kicked out as yet? He is a Rep[ublicon! Donald trump lied himself into one of the most powerful positions on the planet. And he has now fully exposed the Republicon cult as requiring it’s members to lie so they can be elected into high positions of responsibility and them implement authoritarian policies and agendas leading to a failed state like Russia and North Korea!
A few years ago we had a few people campaigning in our neighborhood for both parties, although I’m an independent, I was approached by both side asking my thoughts or what side i would be voting for. I politely stated that all of these politician’s are liars, and we shouldn’t trust a word that comes out of their mouths; they’ll say anything to get voted into office and get donation funds out of you. Interestingly enough, they both just walked away without a reply, because they had none. This is the current landscape of politics, and I’m sure it has been going on since we started voting, but it’s pretty bad now.

@06komomo – True, but Nixon was well educated (graduated Duke Law) and he also served in the Navy. He was a U.S. Senator and a Vice President. Santos just appeared out of nowhere and everything he claims has turned out to be false. Who is he?
Nixon was a criminal who committed a CRIMINAL act. Telling a lie is not criminal, if it were, ALL the politicians would need to go.
@KH – Yep, straight out of the REPUGNAT playbook
you referring to hilliary or biden? Santos is no where near as bad as these 2 or most democrats
When the boundary between right and wrong is defined by the limits of criminal behaviour, society is in severe trouble.
@J. Skye
But Donald Trump’s endless obvious intentional lies, are o k. ?
Tucker Carlson’s obvious intentional lies about Senator Duckworth are o.k. ?
Who has more influence on Americans and the future of the United States of America ?
Donald Trump ? Tucker Carlson ? Or a Congress person.
As long as you continue to ignore the Cancer that is right wing media and Republican politicians, then it will get worse !
Stop Lying Intentionally to yourself !
It can happen in the United States of America.

@Bubba Sheer idiocy in your response statement to my previous post. I am a political scientist. Additionally, I am not interested in online verbal discourse that does not stem from actual scientific DATA on societal and political dilemmas experienced in our current environments.
This would be like if an employer found out that you lied about everything on your resume, fired you, and you said, “I’m not a criminal.” No one thought that dude. But now that you brought it up, we might!! Either way you get fired. No question.

Absolutely. That former guy should never have been even a candidate with the 26 charges of sexual assault, how he cheated on his taxes, how he cheated anyone he did business with, his 40 years of close ties with Russia, his close ties to Saudi Arabia, his close ties to China, and his five bankruptcies. The Republican party knew all this about Trump and it was more important to win an election than have a decent candidate. We know Santos is a pathological liar, he should be removed now and never be allowed to run for any public office again.
I once had to be fingerprint-background-checked for a slightly more secure contracting position than a common one. And they DID a check, as they questioned one of the items on my resume. I had to produce documentation that I’d worked where I said I did (tax form showing my employment) or I’d not get the job. Of course, I had the docs, so it was good. Why are politicians not held to the same standards as the rest of us? This is getting absurd, and our government is becoming a corrupt joke.
I so agree!
Its also more than absurd what employers feel is their business. That has to change! They put people in double jeopardy who don’t deserve it, bite your tongue before you say anything in defense of employers overreach. If there is to be a just and equitable society all of this has to change!
Republicans are cheering, “He is one of us, he is presidential material.”
The inmates have taken over the asylum.
@Stefan Schleps Oh I have no love for employers. But if I put it out there on my resume, then it’s fair game. My boss had me interview a potential addition to the group. On her resume she listed 3 projects she’d done in college, so I asked about each one. She just looked very confused and had no answers. I recommended against hiring her but my boss hired her anyway. 3 months later, she was pregnant and went on maternity leave.
EVERYTHING on my resume is 100% true. Besides the fact that everything and anything could be verified, I work as a teacher here in Toronto, Ontario. So, everything OUGHT to be verified BEFORE I’m hired!
Before I could even be licenced to work in Ontario , my entire educational background was verified by the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT). The verification process could take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. This depends on the number of applications at a given time and the complexity of each individual’s application. Also, I needed THREE police record checks! The 1st one was to become a student teacher. The 2nd one was for OCT. The 3rd one was for who became my current employer. If I had applied to more than one school board then I would have needed more than THREE police record checks!
Even after the interview, it still takes months to be offered a job as references need to be verified and one’s background needs to be closely inspected! I appear to have gone through more scrutiny than this liar!

Frankly, the leaders of a government should meet every requirement a school teacher does, or that I do as an IT person supporting teachers and students like yourself. I had to clear an FBI back ground check….
The GOP knew and did nothing.
Maybe YOU should run for office. At least we’d end up with someone with integrity in the position.
Last month, a colleague of mine was arrested because he had obtained his teaching position by lying about one of his PhD’s. He risks up to 5 years in jail. Italy may be full of problems but lying on your resume is very dangerous.
@M S Not here…elsewise ol’ Sleepy Joe would have long since been sent upriver! LOL.
